My name is Aaron Riddle and I am a professional wedding photographer serving Winchester, VA and Washington D.C. specializing in modern and candid wedding photography.

As a wedding photographer my style is unobtrusive, friendly photojournalism. I capture the spontaneous smiles, people living in the moment and details of your day as they naturally unfold. Your job is to relax and enjoy your wedding! My job is to document it for you to relive forever.

The Details: After photographing two weddings in the rain, the weather did a 180º and blessed Tim and Lauren’s wedding day with a brisk, sunny and beautiful fall day. This was my first opportunity to photograph a wedding at the Cloverdale Barn, and I was really impressed with the setup and location of the venue. I knew Tim and Lauren would be super laid back and be a blast to work with again (see their engagement session here), so this was a perfect way to wrap up the month of October for me. I look forward to returning to the Cloverdale Barn sometime again in the near future!

The Details: James is an old high school friend of mind, so when he contacted me to photograph his wedding, I was hoping my calendar would be free on that date, which it was! They got married on a farm where Katelyn grew up learning how to ride horses (a few of which were even right next door to the reception that we took some photos with). Despite some cold rain and a little wind, everything worked out and a great time was had by all!

The Details: On Tim and Sara’s wedding day the rain, rain, rain came down, down down…and never let up. It was pretty much the exact opposite of their engagement session which had perfect weather (check it out here). BUT…despite the constant down pour, Shadow Creek was an awesome venue to have the wedding in on a rainy day. Add that to the fact that everyone was in great spirits because of this awesome couple tying the knot, so it didn’t matter if it rained buckets. Nothing was going to damper this fantastic wedding and party!

My wife Christie is a reputable and licensed hedgehog breeder (Riddle’s Hedgehogs). This year we decided to have a little fun for Halloween and take some photos of the hedgehogs in costume, getting ready for a party, and playing peek-a-boo in a pumpkin!

The Details: All of the couples I photograph are in love…and the unique thing about love is that everyone expresses it a different way. Patrick and Kathryn expressed that love through sheer joy and happiness. They were both so genuinely happy to finally get to marry one another that they could not stop smiling or contain their excitement. Their families are also long-time friends so really everyone was excited and happy to celebrate this special day together. When people are that happy, it makes my job easy and all that much more fun to document the event for all of them to remember for a lifetime.

The Details: I have seen Matt and Hanna’s life progress right before my very eyes. From their engagement session to their rainy-day wedding 4 years ago, it has been great keeping in touch with them. Now they are parents to two adorable twin boys, so they got in touch with me for a portrait session at their family farm!

The Details: Bret and Heather are getting married next year (as given away by the balloons above). They both came prepared with several props to use throughout the engagement session, which always gets the creative juices flowing. We had a great afternoon hanging out at Bland and taking some photographs.

The Details: Tim and Caitlin’s wedding (see their engagement session) was the first ever Monday wedding I had the opportunity to photograph. Why did they hold it on a Monday you ask? Well, for starters their wedding was a small intimate affair…only for family and close friends. Aside from the catering staff and the baker of the cake, I was the only other vendor there. That made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that they trusted me to document their lifetime event. The photos that follow are just a glimpse into their special day…
